We love iPads!

We love Apple products because they are fully accessible. They have built in accessibility tools which means  that someone with sight loss can use these tools, without the need to buy any additional  software.

All file types on RNIB Bookshare can be used on an Apple device with use of various free apps, iBooks and braille dispalys as needed.
